Insulin Resistance

Maintaining a healthy standard of living is the foundation stone to organization insulin resistance, and lifestyle change begins at home.

By changing the diet, particularly the carbohydrates in the diet, the body can reduce the quantity of insulin released by the pancreas. Carbohydrates are absorbed into the body after they are broken up into their component sugars. Some carbohydrates are broken down up and absorbed faster than others and are referred to as having a high glycemic index. These carbohydrates add to the blood glucose level more quickly and require the secretion of more insulin to control the level of glucose in the blood.

More than a few studies have shown that weight loss and aerobic exercise (without weight loss) boost the rate at which glucose in the blood is taken up by muscle cells as a result of enhanced sensitivity of the cells to insulin
